On Tuesday, prosecutors charged McKeever-Austin with two counts of neglect of a dependent.

Police arrested Hill, 29, the morning of Jan. 22, and they searched 515 Vineyards Court, where McKeever-Austin and Hill lived with McKeever-Austin's children and parents, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Within reach of the children inside the home, police found a gun, fentanyl and fentanyl residue, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The charges allege that McKeever-Austin put her 3-year-old and 4-year-old children in a situation that endangered their lives.
